Take What You Need

A year ago a young woman in her first year of college had
a very simple idea. . .that went viral.
So much so that it is something that is now part of my ministry. Katie North decided to post tear-away signs
around her campus with the title: Take What You Need.

A colleague heard about this idea, created her own poster
and sent it to me. Besides her original,
I have made additional posters with different words – just hang them by my office
door. The tabs disappear. It seems people are taking what they
need: hope, understanding, peace,
healing, joy, gratitude, forgiveness. . .

What do we truly need in our lives today– not tomorrow – right now? Is it to be loved? To be courageous? To have hope?
To offer hope? Or???

What do you need – today?
Risk asking for it. God knows
even before we ask but companions on our life journey are not able to read our
minds – so we need to risk asking both God and our companions.

And. . .if Katie’s idea appeals to you. . .then find ways to share it with
those in your life.
